Organ Orange, Inc. is a non-profit organization that was created after the founder Layne Skrupky was diagnosed with a genetic liver disease, Wilson 's disease. This disease had compromised his liver function and he found himself placed on the UNOS waiting list with over 110,000 other individuals. He created this organization to increase awareness about the need for organ, tissue, and eye donation in Northeast Wisconsin.
